"Apóstolo São Paulo", painted in 1869 by Brazilian artist José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior (1850-1899), portrays a solemn figure of Saint Paul, the apostle. The figure is depicted holding a sword and looking towards the sky. The painting's background, showcasing a distant landscape and an architectural structure, evokes the biblical narrative of Saint Paul's journey. This work, characterized by its realistic style and attention to detail, reflects Almeida Júnior's mastery of portraiture and his inclination towards historical and religious themes.
